I have the M1 Max 64GB which only has 2 efficiency core, I am running macOS Sequoia 15.7.7

I have a few high CPU usage apps: Microsoft Edge (I use it instead of Safari, for personal and work), Outlook, Teams and Claude desktops (I am not using Claude Code, only chat). At seats these are the top apps in Activity Monitor.

Then, some medium CPU usage apps: Things 3, plus the standard Apple apps: Mail, Messages, Finder, Calendar, etc.

Then, I have a few Menu Bar background apps: Moom, Clamshell, OpenUsage, BetterDisplay, Shortery, Paste and App Tamer, they are low usage (in theory) but are running 24x7.

I have setup all the high CPU usage apps to run on the Efficiency Cores and Slow them down if they go above 10%, but I think with only 2 Efficiency Cores is not a very efficient approach, thoughts?

Then, for the medium usage apps only to Slow them down if the go above 10%, what should I do with the Menu Bar apps? Any strategic advice on how to efficiently configure App Tamer (I am using the latest beta 3.0b12 (13111)) for overall efficient use of the MacBook Pro 16, thank you

Any suggestion? Thanks

If yes, what are the steps? First install macOS 26 then upgrade to macOS 27 from there? Do I have to install any kind of Device Support on the host 15.7.7? Thanks

I have a MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max running macOS Sequoia 15.7, I would like to test macOS 27 on an external Thunderbolt SSD, but, I am concerned that the new macOS 27 Firmware, that will be installed on the M1 Max might affect at some point macOS 15.7, if I decide to stay with Sequoia and not upgrade to Golden Gate. Also how can I keep the Firmware updated after, if I decide to keep macOS 15.7 and not to upgrade to macOS 27, it will stay on the latest firmware based on the last installation of macOS 27, thanks
